The Lucas & Kennelly factory is unusually well ajapted to an affair . of the kind. Across the entire eas- tern end of the building extends a room about sixty feet by forty, used as a cutting room, and this had been turned into a banquet hail. Prac- tically every trace of its usual pur- pose had been obliterated and it made an ideal place for such a gathering.

He finally responded to their wishes for a cornet solo, which 'he played with all his old time skill, but they were not through with him, and re- fused to be satisfhfed without a speech. floor and made a few remarks that went right to the men's hearts. He said that he was a glove cutter, not a talker, but be could say that he did not believe that any factory in skillful and devoted force in every department. There was seldom any trowble between the firm and its em- ployes.

NEREASES In STATE) Albany, Dec. 2%.-As a result of the steady increase in smallpox in the state health department has made preparations for sending special lit- erature, together with an appeal to thehealth officers and physicians of western, central and southern Now York, urging their co-operation in the afforts of the state authorities to stay the progress ofthe spread of the disease. While the situation at present is not alarming the state health department says it will soon be so unlessthere is an improvement through strict quarantine, general vaccination and efficient disinfection. One section of the state seriously in- fected is comprised of Tompkins. (Chenango and Broome counties, while a less serious epi- demis prevails in Cattaragus, Wyom- ing. Allegany and Erie counties..

' Teheran, Persian cabinet has given to the Rus- sian minister, S. verbal assurances of its intention to comply with the demands of the Rus- sian ultimatum. London, Dec. $1.-The Persian i legation here anhounced at noon to- day that Persia had granted the Rus- sian demands.: The British foreign office shortly | jafter noon received official confirma- ] tion from the British minister at Teheran that Persia had yielded be- | fore the Russian threats and had granted all the demands contained ber 29. These included the dismis- sal of W. Morgan Shuster, the Am- erican who has been acting astreas- urer general of Rersia since June Mast. . The Russian ultimatum to the | terms of which Persia has now ac- ceded was delivered to the Perglan government by the Russian minis ter at Teheran on November 29. It : demanded besides the dismissal of ' Mr. Shuster an apology from the Per- sian government on account of its in- terference; with the property of Per- sians under Russian protection and also the payment of an indemnity to Russia for the expenditure she had. 1 meurred in sending troops on to Por- sian territory. The national coun- cll declined at first to comply with : Russia's demands although the cal- | inet was inclined to do so. Yester- day Ruseia threatened to order the advance of the 4,000 troops of all arms stationed 'at Kasbin, 96 miles from , Teheran, unless Persia ceded within 24 hours. Further discussion of ae duestion at issue between the members of the Permian capinet and. the national council evidently led the ~ | latter to gee the advisability of- yéeld- | ing to Rusgla's demands. The crisis | 'is thus ended unless popular opinion in Persia leads to resistance. W. Morgan Shuster, Jr., who is the - central figure in the Russo-Pergian crisis, is a young citizen of Wash- ington who was formerly in the Unit- ed -tates customs service in Cuba and 'the' Philippines for a number of years. He was recommended 'as treasurer-general for Persia by Pres- ident Taft when the Persian govern» ment expressed its desire to have some one to put its finances in order. . .is endeavors to root out corruption ‘ and to levy and collect the taxes without favoring any one led to in- terference by the Russian govern- | ment and the demand for his dis- missal. DEPARTMENT BOTHERED BY SOUVENIR HUNTERS. Washington, Dec. 22.-Sentimen- talists and souvenir hunfers as well as town governments and patriotic | organizations have been pouring re- quests into the navy department ree cently for relics from the ill-fated battleship Maine. As the depart- ment has no authority for disposing of any part of the vessel, of course all requests to date nave been turn- ed down. No attempt has yet been made to ascertain just what parts wreck might be available to 'be giv- en away, although it has been sug- gested that such articles as the staff. gun mounts, guns, whistles and even the bell would make interesting adornments for the headquarters of patriotic «organizations or the naval museums. - The department is await- ing upon action of congress before making any plans for the disposition of the wreck. ‘ MRS. HETTY GREEN LEASES PROPERTY. Chicago, Dec. 2%.-Mrs. Hetty Green's most valuable piece of Chi- cago property has just been leased for ninety-nine years to J. T. Len- festy, wccording to an authoritative report among real estate men here. The property is valued at $1,625,000, and it is said the annual rental will 'be $6,500. It is known as the How- lind block at the southwest corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets and was held at $35,000 a front foot, the highest price ever paid in Chicago. 2} SHEPARD» POG A HERO.
